Pre-Owned Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Reissue Blue Sparkle with Mini Humbuckers
Item: GBHB264C
This is a wonderful hybrid from the Gibson Custom Shop. Based on the 1957 Les Paul Standard and a 1970's Les Paul Deluxe this guitar merges those 2 decades and has produced a real show stopper. It has all the features of the '57 Les Paul including the inked on '57 serial number but instead of the full size humbuckers it intoduces the great sounding mini humbuckers and a limited edition Blue Sparkle finish.
The body features Gibson’s traditional hand-carved maple top and solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body. The headstock is made from Holly head veneer, as opposed to fiber, just like it was in 1957, and the vintage-style tulip tuners are mounted in a straight line, also as they were on the original. The 24 ¾-inch scale length neck is made from one solid piece of mahogany, and attached to the body using a long neck tenon — one of the Les Paul’s more distinguishing characteristics of the 1950s. The neck is topped by a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard outfitted with acrylic trapezoid inlays matching the size of color of the originals.
This is a mint condition 2010 model that comes with the original case and documentation.
